Pearl the Camper!

July 2, 2017

‘WELCOME HOME!!’
is what I hear every time I step into Pearl the Camper.

😍

I am so proud, beyond excited, and incredibly grateful for all the hard work my parents have put into her to make my dreams of having a tour-bus-home on the road. She is everything I had dreamed of and MORE! A two year search and one year labour of love… Finally now this summer on my 2017 USA House Concert Tour, I am able to enjoy the fruits of my labour!

Thetford!! I love you guys! Thank you for providing pearl with the best Norcold RV fridge EVER… And I’m not just saying that because this is a sponsored post either 😄 LEGIT This fridge is saving my life on the road, because I eat a lot of fruits and ice cream and guacamole and those things all need refrigeration! Thank you!

The door before was super blah. It needed a big facelift, so I went a little gold crazy. Spray Paint does wonders!

The dining area also turns into a second bed or couch for alllllll ma fraaands who wanna come and visit!

It’s so crazy to see how far she’s come: From being completely empty the day I got her – a gutted rotting shell, to now, a home and paradise on wheels. ❤️
It is forever love and I am so excited for the many adventures she holds!!

PPS. Wanna help out with a little gas while pulling Pearl down the road? Please visit this page where you can support my story and the work that I am doing, to make this world a better place through music and stories!! Any amount big or small truly is appreciated.

Congratulations, your paradise looks great. My wife and I, just bought a 1970 Bailey, same model. After stripping it, we realized that there as water infiltration. We will resolve this issue before winter, make plans, and work on it… We’re 60 years old and we want to use it during our retirement to travel across Canada and United States… What is the main advice you can give us and what was your budget gor material…. (please note that I have used Google Translate…)

Thank you Francois!!!! How cool that you just bought a Bailey Mikado!!! Mine is somewhere around that age too- where did you find it!? I’d love to see a photo if you can send to me 🙂 Main advice I can give is to double your budget and time allotment to renovate! My camper took a year to fix up – which is WAY longer than I expected, and I spent $8000 in materials to fix it up (my parents and I did all the labour so I did not include this in my budget) which is also much more than I thought materials would cost. I wish you much luck and success in your travel adventures!!!!
